"Honor
your Guru, Treasure your Dharma, and Practice
diligently."
- The Three
Refuges
.
"Is is important when approaching the Dharma to
constantly remember that every teaching is meant only as a method to
tame and cultivate the mind. The point of the Buddhadharma is not to
make one clever in argumentation or debate but to help one to
overcome delusion and inner negativities, the sources of suffering
and confusion. Dharma is not an elite secret to be greedily shared
with the guru, but a personal instruction meant for inner practice
and implementation. We should study from this perspective."
